• Adolescent DBT Groups 

  Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is widely known as the therapeutic approach with the most extensive coping skills component. DBT has been used for the past 40 years and over the past 10 years has become a consistent part of most, successful eating disorder treatment programs. DBT breaks life into four main areas, relationships, thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Since all of these areas are typically dysregulated during the course of the illness, DBT is tailored made for treating eating disorders. Ongoing enrollment. Contact our office for more details.
